Add network plans
FortiExtender Cloud lets you create network plans to configure your system interface. After creating a network plan, you can add it to a profile to push it onto a device.
From Network Plans, you can create a subnet pool by using network IP and subnet mask. Each device's interface automatically receives an IP from the subnet pool as long as there are enough subnets.
When you define the Source IP, Source Subnet, and Destination IP, you are defining a network pool with subnets. Subnets are assigned to the device that joins the network. For each subnet, there will be a number of IPs that can be used for the device's hosts.
You must select an integer to define how each subnet device uses those IPs. Once you select an integer and click Save, the reserved index graph updates to visually reflect your selection.
To create a network plan:
-
In the navigation bar, go to Plan > Network.
The Network plan page loads.
-
In the upper-left corner of the page, click Add Network Plan.
The Add Network Plan window loads.
-
In the Plan Name field, enter a unique network name.
-
Click Add.
The Network Plan Detail page loads.
-
Complete the following fields:
Field Name
Description
General Settings
Name
Change the network name if necessary.
Destination IP
Enter the Destination IP of your plan.
Source IP
Enter the Source IP of your plan.
Source Subnet Mask
Select if you want to subnet your plan. If you choose to subnet your plan, select how many.
Interface IP
DHCP Server Default Gateway IP
DHCP Server Start IP
DHCP Server End IP
VRRP Virtual Router IP
Select an integer for each IP to define how each subnet device uses those IPs. You can select a customized number from 0-4096.
For example, if a device is assigned a subnet from 192.168.2.1/24 to 192.168.2.35/24, choosing First means they get an IP of 192.168.2.1. Second means 192.168.2.2, and so on.

Click Save.
The new network plan is created. You can return to the Network Plan page to see it.
